How Danny Wolf Spoke His Producer Dreams Into Atlanta Rap Reality

It’s not very common for an intern to get signed.

It was just me working hard, and [Nate and Rip] saw it. They were like, “You know what, we’re going to sign you because we feel like you’re about to be a part of something big,” and you know, they were right. Now they trust me with whatever I do and they know that I have the ear for who’s up next and who to work with. I’m always early-in with everybody’s careers. I haven’t been wrong yet.

It seems like faith and strong belief in yourself are pretty constant themes in your life.

I think God really blessed me with the gift of faith.

But now, the older I get and the more I’m around certain people and certain energies, I’m like, Dang, this shit is pretty insightful. The Quran, too, and the book of Buddha — all these ancient books.

Having a bit of faith and speaking it out loud — so many people speak bad shit upon their lives, and they act so surprised when bad shit happens.
